Excel 2007 : Different Functions in One Cell Cancel Each Other Out - How can I fix this?

**ljuarez12** · 05-21-2012, 03:15 PM

Hi, I have tried to setup my formulas in so many ways and still cannot get the results. If I move them to different cells they work independently however once I place them together the first cancels the second one out and it does not work. Here is the sample.

A1 = Initial Date (Manually Entered)
B1 = Initial Due Date (Calculated via Formula =IF(AND(A1<>"",F1<>""),"",IF(ISNUMBER(A1),(+A1+60),""))
C1 = Date of Completed Report (Manually Entered)
D1 = Meeting Due Date = (Calculated via Formula)
F1 = Transfer Date (not really need for this sample)

Formula(s) for D1 should state, if user enters a date in A1 then it should calculate B1 plus 30 days. Then if user enters a date in C1, it needs to compare the dates between C1 and B1 and if C1 is less than B1 then it should calculate C1 plus 30 days (in other words if the date of report was completed prior to the due date then a new one needs to be calculated).

Here is the formula I have now...again, I tried to change it up but this was my last one I tried using and it just gave me a False as a return statement. =IF(ISNUMBER(A1),(+B1+30)&IF(C1<B1,+C1+30,""))

THANKS!

Forum Rules
Please read and adhere to these simple rules!

1. Use concise, accurate thread titles. Your post title should describe your problem, not your anticipated solution. Use terms appropriate to a Google search. Poor thread titles, like Please Help, Urgent, Need Help, Formula Problem, Code Problem, and Need Advice will be addressed according to the OP's experience in the forum: If you have less than 10 posts, expect (and respond to) a request to change your thread title. If you have 10 or more posts, expect your post to be locked, so you can start a new thread with an appropriate title.

To change the title of the thread, click EDIT on the original post, then click the Go Advanced button, then change the title. If two or more days have passed, the EDIT button will not appear, and you need to ask a moderator to change the title.

apologies, zbor, timing issue

It was more than half hour :P
On the other hand you could edit and delete your solution when you saw title change request is pending (although I don't know why answer such a thread even if it's not requested

)

Anyway, I'll restore your answer once that title is changed.
